  • now, Mr Vanderhof, that's a very serious thing.

  • Not filing an income tax return.

  • Well now I suppose I do pay you this money.

  • Mind you, I don't say that I'm going to, but just for the sake of argument, what's the government going to do with it?

  • What do you mean?

  • Well what do I get for my money?

  • For instance, if I go into a department store and buy something, why?

  • There it is.

  • I can see it.

  • Well, what are they going to give me?

  • The government gives you everything it protects you from what?

  • Well, invasion.

  • How do you think the government's gonna keep up the army and navy with all those battleships, battleships?

  • Last time we used battleships was in the spanish american war.

  • And what do we get out of that cuba And we gave that back?

  • Well I wouldn't mind paying for something sensible.

  • What about Congress and the Supreme Court and the President?

  • We gotta pay them, don't we?

  • Not with my money.

  • No, sir.

  • Now now wait a minute.

  • I didn't come here to argue everybody.

  • Hello, Tony.

  • Has everybody acquainted with everybody?

  • Oh yes indeed.

  • We've had a most delightful talk about love and marriage.

  • I'm sorry I tried to hurry.

  • Look.

  • Mr Vanderhof, all I know is you haven't paid an income tax and you've got to pay it.

  • Hello?

  • What was that?

  • I said you've got to pay it?

  • You've got to show me we don't have to show you.

  • I just told you who's gonna pay for all those buildings down in Washington and interstate commerce and the constitution?

  • The constitution has been paid for years ago.

  • And as for interstate conflict.

  • What is interstate commerce anyway?

  • There are 48 states, see, and if it weren't for interstate commerce, nothing could go from one state to another sea.

  • Well, why not?

  • Have they got fences?

  • No, they haven't got fences.

  • They've got laws.

  • Holy smokes.

  • I never ran across anything like this before.

  • Well, I might pay you about $75.

  • It isn't worth a cent more.

  • You pay every cent just like anybody else.

  • Now, listen to me, you've got a deal.

  • If you don't pay to hear that, that's law.

  • And if you think you're bigger than the law, you got a little thing coming, just the same as anybody else.

  • And the sooner you get that through your head, the better.

now, Mr Vanderhof, that's a very serious thing.
